MB Real Estate previously kept various elements of its accounting
function in different systems. “We wanted leasing, commercial office
management, budgets, cash flow and forecasting in one system,” said
Maureen Grove, CPA, vice president of finance and accounting for MB Real
Estate. “Automating our finance and accounting functions will free up
our staff from more mundane tasks and allow them to focus on more
complicated aspects of advising, consulting and managing commercial real
estate. The Yardi dashboard features key performance indicators,
allowing managers to perform more analytical services and focus on
greater client-centric functions that add value.”

She added, “In evaluating our options, we were very impressed with
Yardi’s customer service. The staff is exceptional, and that solidified
our belief that we made the right choice.”

Another key factor in MB Real Estate’s selection of Yardi Voyager was
the option to build additional operations into the system, including
investment accounting, advanced
budgeting and forecasting, and various mobile services for the
leasing and property management teams, according to Grove.

“MB Real Estate is energized and excited about Voyager and what the
future holds for us and our ability to serve our clients. Voyager isn’t
just an accounting system, it’s a real estate management system,” Grove
said.
